Abstract:
Intracranial arachnoid cyst is presumed to be a developmental anomaly and its natural history is not well defined. Often it is detected incidentally in a asymptomatic patient and hemorrhagic events of arachnoid cyst following head injury are rarely reported. We report hemorrhagic complications including two intracystic hemorrhages, two subdural hematomas, and an epidural hematoma in 5 patients with intracranial arachnoid cyst after minor head injury and review pertinent literatures.
